115.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
12 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
13 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
14
155.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
16 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
17 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
18 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
19 not on demand.
20 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
21
225.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
23 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
24 when no threads had been readied between detecting
25 the event loop and actually running it.
26 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
27 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
28 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
29 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
30 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
31 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
32 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
33 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
34 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
35 for hardcode select overriding.
36
375.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
38 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
39 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
40 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
41
425.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
43 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
44 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
45 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
46 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
47 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
48 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
49 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
50 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
51 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
52 (Coro::State::enable_times).
53
545.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
55 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
56 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
57 idle_upto).
58 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
59 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
60 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
61 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
62 had already been freed.
63 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
64 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
65 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
66 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
67 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
68 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
69 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
70 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
71 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
72 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
73 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
74 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
75
765.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
77 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
78 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
79 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
80 should support a prepare callback.
81
825.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
83 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
84 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
85 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
86
875.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
88 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
89 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
90 spurious warnings.
91 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
92 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
93 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
94 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
95 - deprecate Coro::guard.
96 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
97 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
98 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
99 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
100 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
101 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
102 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
103 to avoid needless segfaults.
104
1055.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
106 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
107 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
108 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
109 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
110 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
111 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
112 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
113 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
114 destruction.
115 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
116 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
117 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
118 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
119 pthreads fare better?).
120 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
121
1225.11 Tue Nov 25 21:49:05 CET 2008
123 - DEBUGGING in 5.10.0 is a mess: it constantly flags perfectly
124 working code with failed assertions, introducing more bugs than
125 it fixes, requiring elaborate workarounds :(
126
1275.1 Mon Nov 24 08:54:59 CET 2008
128 - wrote a small introductory tutorial - Coro::Intro.
8 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API. 129 - convert Coro::Timer, Coro::Select and Coro::Util to rouse API.
9 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors 130 - Coro::Select did errornously dup the file descriptors
10 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends. 131 and didn't work with all AnyEvent backends.
132 - Coro::Select wasn't imported correctly form Coro::LWP, causing blocking
133 LWP data transfers.
134 - disassociate c contexts from coro objects - this is agruably more
135 correct, but mostly allows sharing of cctxs between coro and state
136 objects, for added memory savings and speed increases.
11 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default. 137 - bumped $Coro::POOL_RSS up to 32kb by default.
12 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably 138 - no longer set the optype to OP_CUSTOM, as B::* understandably
13 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub). 139 doesn't like this very much (and we *are* a type of entersub).
140 - implement state cloning, just to prove that call/cc can be done.
141 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent in Coro::Handle.
142 - wrap ->cancel calls in eval inside Coro::Handle as EV watchers
143 do not have this method (and don't need it either).
144 - speed up generic anyevent methods in Coro::Handle by using rouse
145 callbacks.
146 - allow coroutines in $Coro::IDLE, speeding up Coro::AnyEvent and
147 others. It also makes the debugger happier, as you can trace
148 through the idle threads now.
149 - add comppad_name* and hints ($^H, %^H) to per-thread variables.
150 - eg/event was pretty broken.
151 - better 5.8.6 compatibility.

18 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. 156 - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled.
